Bottle @ Van Moll Brewpub shared by Jaap. Thank you my good man! Slightly unclear dark orange color, medium sized off-white head that lasts for a decent while. Aroma is quite faint even after warming up for about 10 to 15 minutes. Taste malts, lightly bitter, a touch of hops in the distance but that’s about it. I hate to say it, but this is very boring.

750 ml. bottle from Willems & Zoon. Shared with people @ De Gollem. First time I came across one of these. Hazy brownish orange. Smell is light floral hops but there is also a lot of yeast. Taste is thick yeast, lightly moldy tasting, malt sweet, light herbs, overripe peach, caramel. Yeasty body; Far too Belgian for what it should be, drinks okay still.

Very limitedly produced hoppy beer from a 75 cl bottle. Thick, snow white, stable and moussy head over a hazy orange blonde beer. Aroma of fresh orange peel and red grapefruit, candied lemon, caramel, peach, white bread, banana, walnuts, bourbon and pineapple. Fruity onset, estery, peach and pineapple, caramelly malts, yeasty with soft and full mouthfeel, minerally carbonation, light sourishness, yeasty and leafy, peppery hop bitter finish of medium length. Very well balanced and enjoyable.
